Guayaba
I love the floral patten motif of the Guayaba tee, the overall shape reinds me of a tulip or a lotus. Use Berroco Modern Cotton or Sandes Garn Line to make this pretty summer top!
The Guayaba tee is an oversize and slightly cropped summer top. It is decorated with evenly spaced, round lace patterns. This project has lots of ease, making it airy and comfortable during the greatest heat. The entire project is minimalistic, easy, quick and fun to make, as I believe, the perfect summer piece of garment should be. It will match both shorts and skirts or dresses!
Construction
The designs is worked almost completely seamlessly from the top down. Front stitches are cast on using a provisional cast-on method and, after shoulder and neckline shaping, joined and worked straight down to the underarm. Stitches for the back are picked up along the front shoulders and cast on for the back neck. After shoulder shaping, back is worked straight down to the underarm. Shoulders are shaped using German short rows. Back and front are joined together and continued straight in one piece down to the hem. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes. Hem and sleeve scallops are shaped using German short rows. Neckline stitches are picked up around neck opening and finished with one row of purl stitches.
